[PATCH 2/6] migration: introduce savevm, loadvm, delvm QMP commands

[Daniel P . Berrangé]

savevm, loadvm and delvm are some of the few commands that have never
been converted to use QMP. The primary reason for this lack of
conversion is that they block execution of the thread for as long as
they run.

Despite this downside, however, libvirt and applications using libvirt
has used these commands for as long as QMP has existed, via the
"human-monitor-command" passthrough command. IOW, while it is clearly
desirable to be able to fix the blocking problem, this is not an
immediate obstacle to real world usage.

Meanwhile there is a need for other features which involve adding new
parameters to the commands. This is possible with HMP passthrough, but
it provides no reliable way for apps to introspect features, so using
QAPI modelling is highly desirable.

This patch thus introduces trival savevm, loadvm, delvm commands
to QMP that are functionally identical to the HMP counterpart, including
the blocking problem.
